TL;DR: The framework presented enhances the discussion on how to frame and link vulnerability, disaster risk, risk management and adaptation concepts and shows key linkages between the different concepts used within the disaster risk management (DRM) and climate change adaptation research.

Abstract: The paper deals with the development of a general as well as integrative and holistic framework to systematize and assess vulnerability, risk and adaptation. The framework is a thinking tool meant as a heuristic that outlines key factors and different dimensions that need to be addressed when assessing vulnerability in the context of natural hazards and climate change. The approach underlines that the key factors of such a common framework are related to the exposure of a society or system to a hazard or stressor, the susceptibility of the system or community exposed, and its resilience and adaptive capacity. Additionally, it underlines the necessity to consider key factors and multiple thematic dimensions when assessing vulnerability in the context of natural and socio-natural hazards. In this regard, it shows key linkages between the different concepts used within the disaster risk management (DRM) and climate change adaptation (CCA) research. Further, it helps to illustrate the strong relationships between different concepts used in DRM and CCA. The framework is also a tool for communicating complexity and stresses the need for societal change in order to reduce risk and to promote adaptation. With regard to this, the policy relevance of the framework and first results of its application are outlined. Overall, the framework presented enhances the discussion on how to frame and link vulnerability, disaster risk, risk management and adaptation concepts.

Multidimensional Model for Vulnerability Assessment of Urban Flooding: An Empirical Study in Pakistan
TL;DR: In this article, a multidimensional model for vulnerability assessment in urban flooding in Pakistan has been proposed, which explores vulnerability through the lens of five dimensions: social, economic, physical/infrastructural, institutional, and attitudinal.
Multi-dimensional assessment of drought vulnerability in Africa: 1960-2100.
TL;DR: Future DVI projections indicate that the difference between low- and high-vulnerable countries will increase in future, with most of the southern and northern African countries becoming less vulnerable to drought, whereas the majority of central African countries indicate increasing drought vulnerability.

Assessment of long and short-term flood risk using the multi-criteria analysis model with the AHP-Entropy method in Poyang Lake basin
TL;DR: In this article , a multi-criteria analysis model with the combined analytic hierarchy process and Entropy weight method (AHP-Entropy) was proposed to assess the long and short-term flood risk in Poyang Lake basin, and results were verified by several flood events that happened on July 2020.

Disaster risk indicators in Brazil: A proposal based on the world risk index
TL;DR: The DRIB Index as discussed by the authors provides a tool to help assess, visualise and communicate different levels of exposure, vulnerability and risk in Brazil, which may sensitise public and political decision-makers towards the important topic of disaster risk and climate change adaptation.

Jenny Moreno,Duncan Shaw +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined changes in gender relations in a small coastal community as a result of the 2010 Chile earthquake and tsunami and used vulnerability and resilience as a conceptual framework to analyse these changes.

Resilience and Stability of Ecological Systems
TL;DR: The traditional view of natural systems, therefore, might well be less a meaningful reality than a perceptual convenience.
At Risk: Natural Hazards, People's Vulnerability, and Disasters.
TL;DR: The authors argue that the social, political and economic environment is as much a cause of disasters as the natural environment and that the concept of vulnerability is central to an understanding of disasters and their prevention or mitigation, exploring the extent and ways in which people gain access to resources.

Resilience: the emergence of a perspective for social-ecological systems analyses
Carl Folke,Carl Folke +1 more
TL;DR: The resilience perspective is increasingly used as an approach for understanding the dynamics of social-ecological systems as mentioned in this paper, which emphasizes non-linear dynamics, thresholds, uncertainty and surprise, how periods of gradual change interplay with periods of rapid change and how such dynamics interact across temporal and spatial scales.
Loss, Trauma, and Human Resilience Have We Underestimated the Human Capacity to Thrive After Extremely Aversive Events?
TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed that resilience represents a distinct trajectory from the process of recovery, that resilience in the face of loss or potential trauma is more common than is often believed, and that there are multiple and sometimes unexpected pathways to resilience.

TL;DR: In this paper, the challenge of disasters and their approach are discussed, and a framework and theory for disaster mitigation is presented. But the authors do not address the problem of access to resources and coping in adversarial situations.
